Maternity Silhouette with a Point and Shoot

Well there are tons of pictures very similar as well. The other day I had my personal photographer (my very patient husband :) ) to snap a few pictures before I had the baby. I remembered this picture and played around with the settings on the camera. Eventually it was super easy to recreate.

Here are the steps that I took:

Start with being back lit and diffused the light with sheers across the windows. These were taken around 2 PM in my bedroom

Wore form fitting clothing that showed off my belly

Stood on a step stool so my whole body was silhouetted.

Used Av mode (aperture priority) and turned the F# to the lowest number.

I did some super light editing to soften the edges and adjusting the contrast.

I'm not a professional photographer (obviously since I don't even have an SLR) but this is what worked for me! I would love to see what worked for you. The best pictures of the whole series I think would be the ones of my husband modeling for me while I adjusted the settings on the camera but I think he would be very embarrassed if he saw I posted them :)
